Role of a trade union

Trade union's power lies in protecting laborers' rights and interests, said a signed article in Guangzhou Daily. An excerpt follows:

Guangzhou's first construction site trade union was established on Monday. Over 80 of the 130 migrant workers joined the union, demonstrating the union's popularity.

Whether the rest who are taking a wait-and-see attitude are willing to join in the future, and whether the on-the-site trade union's power can grow, are the working goals of the Guangzhou Municipal Federation of Trade Union.
